It does not have a long shelf life on its own--the mixed tocopherols or other antioxidant will help prolong the shelflife. If your oil has started to go rancid, there's no turning back--sorry! To me, rancid is a smell that is distinctively unpleasant. Sometimes you can taste a bit of the oil and it has a " bite " to it, rather than a smooth taste---hard to describe smell and taste in words!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Heloo! What is Rose hip oil supposed to smell like. I ordered some and it has a very rancid smell to it. Thanks in advance! Blessings & Rainbows, Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 should keep it in the fridge since it is so expensive but I don't FWIW, I have some that has been around about a year, now, I put a little VitE in when I got it. I keep most of it in the fridge, and put the rest of the jug outside as soon as it began to get cool- October- and they smell a little- the one in the jug more than the one in the fridge, naturally, but they are both usable. Here in the Pacific Northwest near the coast, we don't have much hot weather, so rancidity doesn't seem to be too much of a problem. Last year DH gave me a small bar refrigerator, and all of the touchy stuff goes in. I would think in a hot climate one of those babies would pay for itself in one summer. Now for a small, " dedicated " dishwasher!!!! Ahhh! the thoughts of a daydreamer... Coral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
